MS Teams - what an abortion...

Seriously, maybe it's me but wtf? Boss asked me to send him the release notes. I'd already done so, but hey ok. I send him the release notes (it's a word doc) via teams. We are now live editing the document with comments and what not. It's so f'ing confusing, I'm authorizing a tactical nuclear strike on MS headquarters. This is progress? This is why you canned the default messaging app to come up with this monstrosity? My boss made changes. I said, where's the doc? He says, "You own it, it's in your messenger." At this point I have no elephanting idea where the #$%%$^%^%^% document is. This is utter bs. The best part is that all of the content in messenger expires in one week. Joy. I will not miss this crap.

Myself that doesn't sound like an efficient use of time? Last time I tried it MS Word has a very useable editing tool that allows for adding review comments, making changes, etc. And then the original author can review those easily. Why not just send it to him. Then he makes edits on his own time and schedule and then sends it back?

Well, the corporation has drunk the kool-aid and gone full in MS. Which is fine, but I should have just emailed it. Instead, I dragged the file to Teams and off it went. So the boss made his edits, and was waiting on me to complete the doc. I had no idea I SHARED the file. I have three computers and a dozen VMs. I actually do not know where the file is.... The last time I sent a file through messenger, it was just a copy, not a live doc. I guess it makes sense sort of... but it would have been nice to know
